How to choose a link vendor without guessing

Questions to ask, red flags to note and a small-order test, written for agency owners and procurement teams comparing any supplier.

  • Red flags worth walking away from
  • A low-risk way to run a test order

What should you ask any link vendor before buying?

Put these questions in writing and keep the answers.

  • Who owns or controls the sites where the links are placed, and who writes the content?
  • Can you see live example URLs from your niche before you pay?
  • How is each placement documented, and can the record carry your name instead of theirs?
  • What happens if a link is removed or changed after it goes live?
  • Who is your contact, and how fast are messages answered in practice?
  • When do you see written terms, relative to payment?
  • What does the vendor refuse to do, and which niches does it decline?

Ask us the same things. Our answers on sourcing are on the inventory standards page, and the rest we explain on WhatsApp.

What are the red flags?

Any one of these is a reason to slow down.

  • Promises of rankings, traffic or timelines. No vendor controls how Google ranks a page.
  • A huge catalog of domains priced like items on a shelf, which can mean sites built only to sell links, sometimes described as a private blog network.
  • A refusal to show live examples before payment.
  • Reports made of screenshots only, or reports that hide the live URL.
  • Identical anchor text pushed on every order.
  • Pressure to pay quickly, or terms that appear only after payment.
  • No clear answer on what happens when a link disappears.
  • Claims that an approach is risk-free. Link buying is never risk-free.

How do you test a vendor with a small order?

  1. Pick one client with a stable site and a clear target page, and keep other changes to a minimum.
  2. Order a small number of links, enough to see how the process works but not enough to hurt if it goes badly.
  3. Ask for the live URL, anchor and date in writing as each placement completes.
  4. Run the checks: the page is indexed, the link is present, the anchor is correct and the outbound links on the page look reasonable.
  5. Note how the vendor handled questions, delays and corrections. Process quality tells you as much as the links do.
  6. Re-check the placements after a few weeks to see whether they stayed live.
  7. Only then decide whether to raise volume, and agree written terms for that volume first.

This is also how an agency would begin with us. The wholesale programs page explains how a Starter account is set up.

The question that matters is who places the link. A direct vendor controls the relationship with the host, so it can answer questions about a specific placement. A reseller passes your order to someone else, which adds a layer and can slow corrections. Reselling is not wrong in itself, and some agencies are comfortable with it. Ask plainly, and ask what the vendor can do when a placement needs fixing.

Also ask whether a named person handles your account or every message goes into a ticket queue. Know which one you are buying before the first order.

Risks and limits: what no vendor can promise

No checklist removes risk. Buying or exchanging links for ranking purposes can go against Google's spam policies on link schemes, and careful, relevant, editorial-style placements reduce that risk without removing it. Results depend on the client's site, the competition and the category, and links are one signal among many. A vendor that says otherwise is selling certainty it does not have.

Use this page to compare suppliers fairly, including us. If our answers do not suit your agency, a different supplier may be the right call, and we would rather say so on WhatsApp than take an order that will disappoint.

Questions about local link vendor in United States

How many links should a first test order contain?

Enough to see the full process, but not enough to cause damage if the vendor disappoints. A handful of links on one stable client site is a common way to test. The exact number is your decision and depends on your client and your budget. We are glad to talk through a test on WhatsApp before any quote.

Should a vendor publish its prices?

Not necessarily. Some vendors list fixed prices, which makes comparison easy. Others, including us, agree terms around monthly volume because requests differ. What matters is that the quote is written, explained and shown before you pay. Be careful with any vendor that cannot tell you how its price is built.

What should a vendor show before payment?

Live example URLs in your niche, a description of the report you will receive, and written terms. Be cautious when testimonials or screenshots are offered in their place, because they are hard to check. We provide examples and the report layout on WhatsApp, and you are welcome to verify any of it independently.

Should I tell my client I use a link vendor?

That is your call, but be honest about what the service involves. Many agencies describe link building as outreach and placement work done with partners. Whatever wording you choose, do not promise rankings, and explain that link tactics carry some risk under Google's guidelines. Clear expectations avoid awkward conversations later.
